Mandanda
Debuchy, Rami, Mexes(c), Evra
Cabaye
Gourcuff, Nasri
Ben Arfa, Benzema, Menez

Re: Euro 2012
 

l am not sure Gourcuff wants to go to Arsenal.

Re: Euro 2012
 

he's on 100k at the moment but hasnt settled at Lyon. he needs a manager like Wenger, real qaulity player when in form.

Iceland are 2 up, counter attacking for both really and both times Evra caught out.

Re: Euro 2012
 

France can't defend to save their lives.:)

Re: Euro 2012
 

Evras crap ;) France have been poor. They failed to make the right pass

Re: Euro 2012
 

Gareth Barry is out of the Euros squad because of injury. Phil Jagielka has been called up. I don't think its too much of a problem, i have never rated Barry. At least Jordan Henderson wasn't called up...

Re: Euro 2012

Re: Euro 2012
 

Nothing to frighten Spain or Germany looking at those squads l am afraid.

Re: Euro 2012
 

The French squad is pretty good. Not at the same level of the German and Spanish teams but still, there is quality there, and they might be a good outside bet.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Has anyone put any pre-tournament bets on?

I've gone for a Germany/France final @ 28/1

Germany to win/Muller top scorer @ 66/1

Benzema top scorer @ 20/1

And a couple of big outside bets as well.
